Grr. Things are going in the wrong direction here.

At least the two new cases look trivial, and that ppc fix is finally
in linux-next.

Adding some devicetree and otherwise involved people to the cc, can we
*finally* get this fixed? It's been around for all of this release,
and Guenter has done a fair amount of bisecting and testing, chasing
down lockdep reports etc.

I've been ignoring this on the assumption that it will just get fixed,
but it's starting to be pretty late in the game now..

Gaah. And what happened here? There aren't even any MIPS changes in
rc5, so clearly something went sideways that just must have happened
to affect your mips qemu tests. Added Thomas Bogendoerfer despite the
lack of commits.
